Mount Horeb Training Center is located in the small village of Itaperucu, just 30 kilometers from Curitiba, the state capital of Parana, in Southern Brazil. This region was chosen because it is considered the poorest municipality in an otherwise reasonably prosperous state.

Mount Horeb Training Center is SAM Ministries’ agent in Brazil and is registered in Brazil as a non-profit charitable organization.

Mount Horeb’s mission is to Love God and serve people, demonstrating in both word and deed God’s amazing love for each individual.

For twenty two years the Mount Horeb Training Center has been involved in meeting the needs of the WHOLE man, physically, spiritually and emotionally. Because people are our priority we are involved in all aspects of human development and community life.

Our first concern was to provide a higher standard of living and education for the poor children in the region. Employing the town's people and utilizing local resources available to us we built houses and took in homeless and abandoned children. A number of the children who were cared for by the mission are now helping to run the mission and care for others!

The ministry has now grown to include:

• A school for 250 children studying a principle centered Christian curriculum.

• A dental clinic serving both the poor and rich alike, this has helped to assist with the support of the many ministries.

• A local church providing a loving community for discipleship and spiritual growth.

• A mobile medical bus which serves the disadvantaged rural communities with medical and dental services as well as nutrition training and friendship evangelism.

• A number of local business enterprises for families to run and earn a living; one example is the community restaurant providing employment and income for two families.

• A small farm which provides some of the food for the school children.

• And an emergency shelter for abused children.

• Numerous other ministries and outreaches that fulfill the mandate.
